Hi there! Lifting Matt up in prayer and asking for a smooth and full recovery as well! I had a bicuspid aortic valve that had to be replaced the day before Thanksgiving, so almost at the 3 month mark now! Doing really well. It's definitely tough to go through open heart surgery, but recovery will go fast-just rejoice in every victory! I am doing cardiac rehab, walking as much as possible outside (weather-permitting)--and driving, etc. It's wonderful how far I've come--and wish the the best for Matt and your family.

Dear Matt, I'm a counselor at SAL. I have prayed for you and continue to pray as you are in surgery. Many prayers are reaching our Father in heaven on your behalf. He hears, and He answers. Rebecca, we love you and your family. I anticipate getting the news that the doctors and attending staff are amazed, because they all sense that the power of God is in control. Much love!

Matt and RD,

My Love and Prayers are with you Matt, as the surgeon, nurses and staff take care of you today. May His loving hands guide each one of them and may you feel his love and peace wrapped around you in a way you have never felt it before. RD and babies, may you also feel a peace that passes all understanding. Love y'all!

Matt, I've always been comforted by one of Golda Meier's quotes. When she was Israel's prime minister, her country faced seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and she kept reminding herself: "This too shall pass." You will recover and be even stronger for having passed through the ongoing test of life: adversity. May God continue to bless and keep you, my beloved goddaughter, and your beautiful children.

Matt and Rebecca,
I will be praying for you, our family, the surgeon and the medical team. Feb 20th is my lady day at home. Hard to believe it has been over 7weeks. It seems like yesterday. The tie went slow occasionally, bit overall fast.
I had my aorta valve and the aorta replaced. I was in ICU for two and half days, then in a room on the cardio floor for 3 more days. Good luck. I know that God will be with you and the team.
